various parodies
Monday, June 30th, 2003
1. TS Eliot
Fleabag the Dalmation, a dog-year dead,
Forgot the mew of the cats and the dinner bell
And the bitches and the leash…
Lab or Shi-Tzu,
O you who lift the leg and pee to leeward,
Consider Fleabag, who was once handsome and tall as you.
2. Duke Ellington
Hey, Opinionated Baby, I know,
You miss the womb you left long ago,
And when nobody is nigh you cry.
3. Crowded House
Walking ’round the room singing
Various parodies
At 987 Alabama Street
Now it’s the same room but everything’s different
You can find the deck, not the boxroom
Things are cooking in my kitchen:
Yam and apple and carrot puree
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn’t conquer my fruit pie…
